Jack turns the tables on them in literally the span of a heartbeat.Justice League Unlimited, season premiere - Green Arrow faces off against the nuclear behemoth that took apart Green Lantern, Captain Atom, and Supergirl.Dragon Ball Z - Buu is unstoppable. The heroes have thrown everything at him, and failed. Vegeta has one last trick left: a suicide attack. For the first time in his life, Vegeta is doing something selfless, motivated not by anger or jealousy or pride, but by concern for his loved ones.Samurai Jack, premiere: Young Jack waves good-bye to his mother, as he begins his world-spanning journey to learn the skills needed to become a champion.Rurouni Kenshin - Kenshin struggles to master the ultimate technique of Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu, which he will need if he is ever going to defeat Shishio.  His master, Seijuro Hiko, tells Kenshin that he cannot master the technique as he is, because he is missing something. Seijuro gives him a night to meditate upon it, but Kenshin still does not understand. As they face off in a duel to the death, as is the tradition in Hiten-Mitsurugi Ryu, Kenshin has a moment of enlightenment and finally understands what is stopping him from reaching his ultimate potential.Rurouni Kenshin - The final showdown between Shishio and Kenshin's group. One by one, every single hero falls before Shishio. Who can stop him now? Kenshin gets up again, his eyes blank. He's going on nothing but instinct and sheer will power. The wind and leaves begin to resonate with Kenshin's "swordsman's spirit" as they begin to swirl around the battlefield, and snapping as they tear apart. The stage is set for the final duel, one of epic proportions.Cowboy Bebop, final episode: Spike explains to Faye why he has to go face Vicious, no matter what happens.Rurouni Kenshin - The battle between Kenshin and Cho, the sword hunter. Although Kenshin's reverse-blade sword has been shattered, he does not hesitate to face the bad guy. With some brilliant fighting, Kenshin fends Cho off, for a time, with just his scabbard.  It's long enough for one of Kenshin's allies to get a sword and toss it to him.  But now Kenshin faces the decision of his life.  Without his reverse-blade sword, Kenshin will have to kill Cho to stop him.  He has sworn to never kill again, because to do so would mean that all his time as a wanderer was just an illusion, and that underneath it all, he is a killer, and that will never change (kind of like an alcoholic who has been sober for years being forced to drink again). But he can't just stand by and let the bad guy slaughter innocents.  Heroes in cartoons risk their lives time after time to save innocents, but now Kenshin risks something far more valuable: his redemption, his very soul.</blockquote>
